“Is that what you think this is about?! That you let me die?! I don't know what clouds your judgement worse. Your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why, why on God's earth!......is he still alive?!!” My favorite quote.
I heard that DC was planning on killing jason todd either way but put the ad in the comic so they wouldnt get any of the blame or outcry from the JT supporters
I love "RED HOOD's" aesthetics from head to toe! My best friend and I have been writing a 4-book saga: "THE NORTHMAN SAGA"! Our "MC-Protagonist": Caelan "The Northman" Erikson has Norse Viking variations of modernized Hero-Suits w/Real Gold & Real Furs & Real Leathers and different shades of greys, blacks, and silvers as Caelan's main colors and materials. The Northman's helmet is similar to Red Hood's, but Caelan's helmet is gold, with silver, grey and black shading/trim and edges. It also has his golden Viking Crown forged into the top of the helmet. The golden crowned grey & black & silver "RED HOOD" style helmet goes great with Caelan's: Dark Grey "Hooded Long-Coat (trench coat w/Hood) that has grey wolves' fur as trim on the hood & collar. Underneath his Hooded Long Coat, Caelan's body armor is similar to Jason Todd's "Arkham Knight" suit via the epic PS4 game of the same name. Mainly grey & black with Gold & Silver edging, plus his hero symbol is in Gold and is the Norse Rune for HERO. Caelan Erikson has a PS4 "God of War 4" Kratos like Golden Gauntlet w/Retractable Shield & bracers on his other forearm and his shins. My best friend and I suck at drawing so if anyone wants to send a sketch of these concepts with a Norse Viking spin on the aesthetics them all are welcome. Caelan Erikson should look similar to Alexander Skarsgard and combo the suits of: Red Hood ODIN Batman The Destroyer Armor Thor Just think Viking/Norse & Hooded Long Coats/Hooded Cloaks are better than capes
Robert Gornick under the red hood look is the best the rebirth one looks off I don’t like the blue armor he’s wearing under the jacket it just doesnt look cool they should’ve made it black like in the new 52.
Wearing his domino mask under his helmet for no other reason than dramatic effect when he takes off the helmet is the most Jason Todd thing ever. Jason Todd out Extras _everyone_
I think it was to make Batman remember him as robin and how he failed him. Kinda to get under Batman’s nerves since his robin costume has the same mask
It could be both reasons. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Just because it has symbolism doesn't mean it doesn't have a practical use. He could be wearing the Robin mask under his helmet as a psychological attack against Batman AND to hide his identity when he uses his helmet as a grenade (although in all honesty, who the hell wears explosives around their head?). That's probably the true intention anyway. Jason WAS trained by Batman, a dude that wears a bat themed suit to scare criminals AND has a practical intention for pretty much everything he does. Psychological warfare and tactical awareness are both pretty obvious traits that Batman displays.
I hate how in this, batman just throws a batarang into Jason's neck to stop him from killing joker. I like how the movie handles this situation, batman just walks away. The only reason why batman threw the batarang into Jason's gun in the movie is because Jason aimed it at him.
That is one timeline I want to see. The one where Batman saves countless lives by choosing to walk away. Batman could be like, "I can't cross that line, Jason. I don't have it in me to come back from the brink... but I won't keep stopping you." at which point he turns and walks away, deaf to the Joker's increasingly desperate pleas for him to come back right up until Jason unceremoniously pops him.
is jason didn't die, i'm guessing he'd become a lot less popular as a robin, get quickly replaced by drake when he gets older, and then the writers would either still make him red hood, just less gun hoeing, or he'd pull a stephanie brown and be written out of the story
When I heard Jensen Ackels say that line in the movie I had to pause it, started crying like a baby for 10 minutes straight! That was the 1rst time I ever felt anger towards Batman... EVER!!!
I just realized how Jason never really put no innocents in the way. Only villains, crime bosses and the members of those bosses gangs. He even threatened the crime bosses to not sell the drugs to the children. Any other villain puts innocents in harms way to kill Batman.
In the Red Hood movie he almost causes a helicopter to crash into a crowded city street while evading Batman. Sure it wasn't intentional but still a kinda dick move lol
Jason Todd is my favorite, not just some goodie in spandex, not some antihero with a raging death wish, but a boy who was shown what being good and evil was and broke through the middle,
Jason should be like, "Why are you here? Yeah. You don't kill, but why can't you just walk away? How many times have you moved heaven and earth to keep someone like me killing someone like him?!"
damian: *dies* batman: no! we must bring him back to life! jason: oh, you never cried over my dead body like that! batman: jason, quit it now! this is serious! jason: and my death wasn't?
My favorite RH dialogue: 1. "You haven't lost your touch,Bru-(Bruce)" 2. "Wow, he sure can move when he really wants to". 3. "Tell me! What bothers you more?! That your greatest failure has returned from the grave?! Or that I become a better Batman than you?!" 4. "Hidden goodies all over, huh? We're both just a couple of walking armories!" 5. "If it had been you he beat to a bloody pulp, if he had taken you from this world, I would have done NOTHING BUT SEARCH THE PLANET FOR THIS PATHETIC PILE OF EVIL DEATH-WORSHIPING GARBAGE AND SEND HIM OFF TO HELL!"
I really didn’t like when the New 52 changed his origin so Joker manipulated everything. It just didn’t fit Joker, but they seemed to revert to his original origin by DC Rebirth.
I see this issue you're speaking of more of a lie of the Joker he tells himself. He hates from all Robins Grayson the most because he thinks he disturbed the dynamic he had with Batman. He has this thought that only he can understand Batman fully and that he can't live without him. And this weird obbsession made him think after the fact that he killed Jason that he raised this boy to be the biggest prank he pulled on Batman. Ultimately it just is a lie and Jason wasn't a pawn of either Joker or Batman and that he creates his own legacy. Its just not something one should take at face value espiacially since the way it's narrated he tells things he couldn't even possibly have known meaning the story maybe even was just a "what if"
How did Jason come back? Simple Superboy prime punched reality so Jason lived instead of dying, the two realities then corrected itself so Jason woke up inside his coffin and had to dig himself out with nothing else but his belt buckle. .... I liked the story in the cartoon version of Under The Red Hood, where it was Raz Al Ghul who brought Jason back as a sort of apology for causing his death in the first place, better. At least Jason coming back from the Lazarus pit made more sense, than Superboy prime punched reality.
Well, neither make sense, and I enjoy comics the most when they realize they’re insane by design and just have fun with it. But if it makes you feel better the new 52 changed just that.
I know right?? Suspension of disbelief heavily required for this story. Like who the hell find out their birthmom wasnt the woman who raised him then looks through dead dads cellphone (probably just had it in his pocket) and upon finding several female contacts who have a single letter in common with the smudgy name on his birth certificate (the birth certificate that no one has ever seen despite his having been adopted) and with this information alone bombs away like Indian Jones on crack to find some of Pa's old lady friends. Sure dad never mentioned that the mom he knew and the mom who gave birth to him were two different women. Presumably never even saw her or had her over for coffee the entire time he was alive and raising Jason but he totally had her on speed dial -_- Uh huh. Sure, makes sense! Guess it's time to head to the most dangerous region on the planet and look for her. Its not like he wouldve been calling her if she was some sort of bitchy nihilistic terrorist or something...
Also the fact that apparently in universe, shiva is apparently immune to truth serum. Cause... Cass is a couple months older than Jason... so... yeah. Shiva is immune to truth serum
batman before: a new outlaw, 'red hood' is going around town killing criminals and controlling the drug trade. hmmm, red hood was joker's old alias before he became the joker. the red hood takes after me a lot, so he might take after my ways too, of dressing up as what scares him the most. jason's red hood batman now: WHAT?! JASON'S ALIVE AFTER HIS BODY WENT MISSING AND HUSH IMPERSONATED JASON COMING BACK TO LIFE?! AND AFTER JASON TOOK UP THE NAME 'RED HOOD' WHICH IS THE SAME NAME JOKER HAD WHEN HE WAS NORMAL! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Definitely not When it comes to DC anti heroes he's most people's first opinion besides batman and catwoman And that's including guys like jonah hex, lobo, harley quinn, deathstroke, rorshach, john Constantine, deadshot, and arsenal
I remember my grandma got this for me at the red box when i was a little kid. I loved this movie and use to watch it on every road trip. Then the disc got scratched overtime. I was a little to happy as a 15 year old that they finally brought it to Netflix
@@Drop_The_Colony not really, Red Robin is also Red. The other Robin's wore the bright yellow cape. Nightwing is kinda blue. So uhhhh they're not all black.
Thank you, long time Red Hood fan. I love that you put All of his origins from late 80's to now. Makes my wife and I tear up every time we re-watch Under the Red Hood.
Yeah I love Batman but sometimes it really annoys me when he refuses to kill someone even though he knows it will lead to saving thousands if not millions of lives
@@amarifreckl5108 yeah but that is strictly because of the writers. They could just as adult write a Batman who kills only when absolutely needed. Killing one person which will lead to saving hundreds, thousands..and damn maybe even millions of lives.
1 total bad ass quote from red hood is when a thug didn’t talk when Jason told him to with a gun to the thugs head and he said u won’t do it to which Jason replies “ I’m not Batman” and shoots him
Love the Red Hood story. Been waiting for this so long! Cried every time when Jason asked Bruce to make that choice. But I still don’t get why in the movie version, Jason didn’t just finish the Joker when Bruce turned over. Was it because it was meaningless if it wasn’t Batman who killed the Joker?
I think so, he explains that he's not angry that Batman let him die, and that he's mad that Batman didn't kill Joker afterwards. I think the fact that he's not angry that he was let die also means that he isn't looking for revenge himself, so if he were to kill the joker it would mean nothing to him, he only feels like Bruce betrayed him.
He wanted Batman to kill Joker. Why? So he would never let someone like Joker should they arise run wild anymore. Jason could do it, but Batman would always be the opposing force to his methods. He wanted him on his side.
Honestly huge fan of Red hood and at first seeing How they depicted my home country of Lebanon and how Beirut was "violent" tbh was a surprise and extremely inaccurate. Especially when they mention the dessert of Lebanon as Lebanon is all mountains and next to the oceane. There's no dessert there but they describe it like it's Saudi Arabia all desserts or describing it like it's Egypt with it's market and like Afghanistan with the terrorists. Really uncalled for and bit rascist to be honest. Glad they fixed that in the new 52 and rebirth. Great video either way
When Batman and Red Hood realized that Deathstroke is now part of the conversation they know they're in for an even longer fight. It's insane how much Deathstroke can change the aspect of the whole situation.
Batman and Darkseid could be throwing hands, but the second Slade walks into the room, you can guarantee they'd immediately form a temporary "I hate you but let's beat this guy's ass" coalition.
Just came here after finding out that Comicstorian passed away in an accident. R.I.P to Benny for his amazing dramatic readings for our favorite comic books.😢
It was the 80s. Iran-US relations were very low at the time, given that it was less than a decade before that the Iranian Revolution took the US Embassy hostage. Hell, this is also the time when the US was supporting Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war. Not saying relations have much improved nowadays, but there is much more discretion within the comic book industry today.
Growing up my dad was a huge comic book fan, much to his dismay. I liked Spider-Man (I guess children live to disappoint their parents 🤣). I remember him telling me several times how a grappling gun and utility belt were cooler, then a web shooter lol. My dad used to tell me when I was little that if I was bad, The Joker was going to come to get me. Then he will put on this deathly serious face and say "Just like my old friend Jason" He would then proceed to look fake sad, Don't worry he went into detail of what happened to "Jason" lol. Anyway after watching this video I call my father and ask him were you referring to Jason Todd. My dad is silent for a second Let's out a joker laugh and hangs up the phone. Thank you, Comicstorian for bringing me and my dad that much closer ♥️
I really enjoy the relationship of Ra's al ghul and Batman. While they are rivals,al ghul wouldn't go so low as to kill Batman's Heir when they both share the same goal with different methods of success .
The fact you didn't mention how someone made a computer program to keep calling for Jason death ending up with almost 200+ fake votes is very upsetting cause i find that very interesting
I like to listen to these and pretend I'm back in grade school, and its the time right after recess when the teacher would read to us for like an hour, and instead of stories consisting primarily of animals doing people things, we're reading comics about people who dress up like animal things.
Out of all the heroes and antiheroes red hood is my favorite I know most kids look up to superpowered heroes but I learned towards Batman and when I found out about red hood and I loved him so much more I guess I just loved the idea of a antihero raised by Batman and then trained by the mother of his child truly what Batman would be like if he didn’t hold back
I like how the animated movie portrayed his resurrection better. Probably because it makes more sense within the Bat-verse that he was brought back by a Lazarus pit rather than "because Superboy punched reality" lol
44:43 He reminds me of Trevor Philips, with how Comicstorian reads Todd’s lines and how Todd negotiates over 100 POUNDS OF KRYPTONITE with one of the most dangerous mob bosses in all of DC.
One thing I find fascinating about Batman in these stories. It's not the people being murdered that Batman disagrees with. He never once says a murder is unjustified. Only that murder is a crime, and you're still a criminal for doing it, an that it's like drugs, once you start it ain't easy to get off of it. All you'll do is kill more and more until its just mass murder, not crime fighting anymore.
So how exactly did Jason come back? The Lazarus brought him back or is it that he was half dead and then the Lazarus brought back the other half or something?
I promise you I'm not making this up. Superboy prime punched his way out of a paradise dimension and the punches caused ripples in reality that retconned DC history reviving Jason Todd. So basically he got punched back to life.
Definitely enjoyed the first time I watched Red Hood seeing a batman type who was willing to kill the criminals because he doesnt want to risk the criminal doing whatever crime again.
I’m starting to realize how ridiculous some comic writing is. Why in tf would anyone make the joker an ambassador and allow him to attend a UN meeting with prominent members? Absolutely ludicrous, even for a comic. Almost turns me off to those writers.
Superman tells Batman not to seek vengeance on Joker for killin his loved one Superman also puts whole arm thru Joker's chest in Injustice for killin his loved one Hypocrite
In his defense the joker tricked Superman into killing Louis while she was pregnant, that's a little more intense than watching a warehouse with your adopted son inside explode
"Li will you please shut the hell up, I swear to God its like trying to run a criminal organization with my mother" i hope you included that part in the vid 😂i didn't know black mask was so funny
Something not a lot of people mention is that War Games is the prelude to this storyline. It’s my personal head canon that the “death” of Stephanie was one of the deciding factors in Jason returning to Gotham. Honestly I just feel sorry for her. She always gets left out of the Batfamily discussions.
I like how in the comic batman is surprised even he had suspicion from the start other than the movie that wasnt even surprised it also shows that batman loved robin and it hit him in a way
Ah cool Benny. You did a good job on these Red Hood videos. Perhaps they stand out because it’s one of your fav characters. I’ve been watching more ComicPOP than Comicstorian lately, but this one is def getting s watch today. Thx! Ps.. no pronunciation corrections this time.... even if I notice one. I’ll bite my tongue. 🤣
